I got the notice to "complete my purchase online" on my Ford.com order page. Did you guys go through that or just go straight to the dealer?

I assume it's just superficial information collection and I'll still go through all of the same dealer BS when I get there. But I was curious if anyone had experience.

I started the process but bailed out when I got to the low ball appraisal of my trade-in.
I'll complete the process in person, this online experience might work well when not trading vehicles. There was a process for bring your own bank financing, I'd assume that is subject to the in person processing by the F&I specialist.

Driveway.com offered me $9,300 for my Flex, Ford offered $3,300.

We shopped around. We were getting quotes of between $7k and $12k for our 2013 Ford Edge. We sold it private party for $14k. Extra downpayment. Trading in is throwing money away.

Hey! Mine activated. Not sure where it’s at! Hopefully close.

I did all the paperwork this afternoon. I'll pick the truck up tomorrow. It had 56 miles on it when I got in today. 73% state of charge.

I can't believe it's really happening!

Can't you see it on the map now?

Oh man they are taking the back roads. Or they are testing it off road
They 3/4 of the way to Carson City Capital Ford!!

How will you change it I believe its a NY requirement if the truck is > 6000 lbs

My dealer had no issues registering it as passenger truck in NY.

So I guess the dealer has been holding out. Got a call all of sudden that truck is here and that I can come tomorrow to take a look.

Im not going to say pick up, because if it ends up not making sense for me with trade in, then this is a heads up that Lightning ER will be available at a dealer soon. My intent is to pick up though..........

Just wanted to let the Nor Cal'ers know as well that you will hopefully get a call soon..

Driveway was the same for my Tacoma. It took a month from getting that quote until the vehicle was gone and paid. If you have that kind of time, it’s great. They should be filing for bankruptcy in the next few years as there’s no way they are making a profit. My taco went to a dealer out of state and was still for sale last I checked for a few hundred more than they paid me. I see a similar bubble here like carvana.

Ugh, wonder what fresh hell driving this thing with commercial plates will mean in this frigging state.

Good lord what they are they doing there! In no scenario would that be an ideal place to be going from LV to Lake Tahoe.

Someone definitely stole it from the hauler and is traveling in the backwoods to avoid detection.

Yup, a bunch of these pop up car wholesalers will close shop in the next 24 months.
